If this is true, I feel sorry for the girls who work very hard for the show.

If it isn’t true, this is the funniest headline of the year!

What’s the world coming to when you can’t even kiss your horse without having to worry about that stuff?

After the stick ponies, the next contestants have to do some bull-substitute handling.

I don't think it was meant to be mocking. The sponsors just didn't want to cancel the event. They wanted to deliver the competition that they'd promised the girls.

The horse herpes thing is a real problem and has caused authorities to severely limit the movement of horses. What can ya do?

I didn't know Barney Frank was a rodeo fan.

OK. I have to admit it. My first thought after reading the headline was are they doing this to protect horses from further breakouts. I know. Pretty bad.

At first I wondered if this was a headline from San Francisco? I never knew horses got herpes.

If you think horse herpes is scary, imagine the guy who gave it to them.

Horse herpes? Stick horses?

It is the end times, for sure.

For a while, it seemed like I was the only one worried about the horses.
